AURORA, ONTARIO - Magna International Inc. says its second quarter profit rose from last year and it revised slightly up its outlook for the year, despite tariff costs and lower industry-wide vehicle production in North America and Europe.

The automotive manufacturer says its net income for the three months ending June 30 was US$379 million, or $1.35 per diluted share, up from US$313 million or $1.09 per share in the same quarter last year.
